Speaking into the Ear: Fecund Truth's Virgin Medium
Contrary to the widespread view of myth as falsehood, its hermeneutic interpretation has long been seen as providing insight for life’s conundrums. Peters’ (1999) juxtaposition of perfect angelic exchanges of meaning with flawed human discourse opens up fresh approaches for examining communication’s complexities. Religious thought has dealt intriguingly with the ‘media problem’ posed by angels and mortals’ incommensurable difference. Muslim philo…

A Semiotics of Infinite Translucence: The Exoteric and Esoteric in Ismaili Muslim Hermeneutics
The complex juxtaposition of private practice and public visibility/invisibility of contemporary Ismaili Muslims has certain parallels with other religious communities, but it exhibits unique features. This community adheres to an esotericism that has shaped its hermeneutic and communication practices. In a seeming paradox, the group is also extensively engaged in the public sphere. However, its communal institutions are limiting the disseminatio…

The Legends of the “Assassins” in News Coverage of Muslims
The portrayal of Muslims in the news did not become salient only after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, this has been a long-standing issue that has acquired increasing attention over the last few decades as the coverage of the adherents of Islam has steadily grown in American news coverage. The image of the “Islamic terrorist” has come to dominate various depictions of Muslims. It tends to take at face value the claims of some who pe…

Pundits, Pachyderms, and Pluralism: The Never-ending Debate on Multiculturalism
The word "multiculturalism" appeared in the early 1970s. It has been suggested that it was coined in Switzerland, but Canada was the first to enshrine it into official policy. Now it has spread around the world. Many people favour it, many others don't. Very few are indifferent

Press, Public Sphere, and Pluralism: Multiculturalism Debates in Canadian English-Language Newspapers
Editorials, journalists' columns, op-eds, and letters to editors on multiculturalism published by nine newspapers in 2006 are examined. The qualitative content analysis is carried out under four categories: values, identity, and citizenship; societal integration and disintegration; terrorism, multiculturalism, and Muslims; and multiculturalism in other countries. Some of the most prominent journalists in Canada wrote about multiculturalism. Criti…
Nation and diaspora: Rethinking multiculturalism in a transnational context
Multiculturalism has redefined the nation as comprising a culturally pluralist population. However, the increased linkages between countries, produced by accelerated globlisation, have also engendered intricate transnational networks between diasporas residing in several states. The telephone, internet, satellite television and other media help construct a web of connections among these transnations enabling them to maintain and enhance their cul…

Making Sense of the “Islamic Peril”: Journalism as Cultural Practice
The extraordinary nature of the terrorist attacks in the United States on September 11, 2001 produced a significant rupture in media reporting. Live pictures of an airplane crashing into a world famous skyscraper, which then crumbled to the ground, are not normal television fare. Scheduled live transmission of events tends to be well-planned and publicized, with events usually unfolding broadly within the parameters of a preconceived script. Rare…

Cyber-Utopia and the Myth of Paradise: Using Jacques Ellul's Work on Propaganda to Analyse Information Society Rhetoric
Whereas Jacques Ellul's work on the role of myth in propaganda about the technological society has been largely overlooked, it presents an effective means to analyse the ways in which the information society is symbolically constructed. The French thinker'sexamination of mid-twentieth-century propaganda has much relevance in studying current rhetoric about the 'information revolution', 'global information infrastructure' and 'knowledge-based soci…
